Techniques and Tools for Solving Acoustics Problems This is the first book of its kind that describes the use of ANSYS® finite element analysis (FEA) software, and MATLAB® engineering programming software to solve acoustic problems. It covers simple text book problems, such as determining the natural frequencies of a duct, to progressively more complex problems that can only be solved using FEA software, such as acoustic absorption and fluid-structure-interaction. It also presents benchmark cases that can be used as starting points for analysis. There are practical hints too for using ANSYS software. The material describes how to solve numerous problems theoretically, and how to obtain solutions from the theory using MATLAB engineering software, as well as analyzing the same problem using ANSYS Workbench and ANSYS Mechanical APDL. Developed for the Practicing Engineer Free downloads on http://www.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/avc/software, including MATLAB source code, ANSYS APDL models, and ANSYS Workbench models Includes readers’ techniques and tips for new and experienced users of ANSYS software Identifies bugs and deficiencies to help practitioners avoid making mistakes Acoustic Analyses Using MATLAB® and ANSYS® can be used as a textbook for graduate students in acoustics, vibration, and related areas in engineering; undergraduates in mechanical and electrical engineering; and as an authoritative reference for industry professionals.

This classic and authoritative student textbook contains information that is not over simplified and can be used to solve the real world problems encountered by noise and vibration consultants as well as the more straightforward ones handled by engineers and occupational hygienists in industry. The book covers the fundamentals of acoustics, theoretical concepts and practical application of current noise control technology. It aims to be as comprehensive as possible while still covering important concepts in sufficient detail to engender a deep understanding of the foundations upon which noise control technology is built. Topics which are extensively developed or overhauled from the fourth edition include sound propagation outdoors, amplitude modulation, hearing protection, frequency analysis, muffling devices (including 4-pole analysis and self noise), sound transmission through partitions, finite element analysis, statistical energy analysis and transportation noise. For those who are already well versed in the art and science of noise control, the book will provide an extremely useful reference. A wide range of example problems that are linked to noise control practice are available on www.causalsystems.com for free download.

Modelling and simulation in acoustics is currently gaining importance. In fact, with the development and improvement of innovative computational techniques and with the growing need for predictive models, an impressive boost has been observed in several research and application areas, such as noise control, indoor acoustics, and industrial applications. This led us to the proposal of a special issue about “Modelling, Simulation and Data Analysis in Acoustical Problems”, as we believe in the importance of these topics in modern acoustics’ studies. In total, 81 papers were submitted and 33 of them were published, with an acceptance rate of 37.5%. According to the number of papers submitted, it can be affirmed that this is a trending topic in the scientific and academic community and this special issue will try to provide a future reference for the research that will be developed in coming years.

Noise from structural vibration is a major consideration in the design and manufacturing of a product, such as an automobile, airplane, and other consumer goods. Acoustic simulation is an important step to optimize the performance of many new products early in the design stage rather than correcting the mistakes afterwards. Effective and efficient numerical modeling and simulation methods will be important tools for noise prediction during the design stage of products. This thesis work focuses on integrating the numerical methods in the prediction of noise from vibrating structures. To calculate the sound radiated from a vibrating structure, both a structural dynamic problem and an acoustic wave problem should be considered. In this study, the finite element method (FEM) is chosen for the structural dynamic analysis in order to calculate the natural frequencies and harmonic responses of the structure. The boundary element method (BEM) is used in the acoustic analysis of the structure to calculate the radiated sound field. In the BEM, only the surface of a sound radiating structure is discretized and the simulation of sound fields in unbounded domains is easy, yielding an efficient mesh generation and preprocessing. To couple the FEM analysis with the BEM analysis, a computer program, or translation code, is developed for mapping the model and velocity boundary condition (BC) for the acoustic analysis from the results of the dynamic analysis. Several element types in the FEM using the software ABAQUS (r) are implemented in the translation code and their performances are studied. Different BEM solvers in the software FastBEM Acoustics (r) developed earlier at the University of Cincinnati (UC) and based on the fast multipole method (FMM), the adaptive cross approximation (ACA) method and the fast conventional BEM are selected in this study. The correctness and feasibility of the developed code are verified using a pulsating sphere model and a vibrating plate model. Numerical results and analytical data are found to be in good agreement using the developed translation code. As a large-scale and practical application, a wind turbine model is also used to study the noise propagation on the ground due to the vibration of the turbine structure and the rotation of turbine blades. It is found that the coupled analysis with the FEM and BEM can model the noise prediction of large-scale structures effectively and efficiently.
